Mr. ALEXANDERalso asked the Minister of Labour the number of un- 2155W employed persons who were not insurable and not registered at Unemployment Exchanges, but who were in receipt of out-door Poor Law relief during the years 1924 and 1925, respectively?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have been asked to reply. The average number of the persons ordinarily engaged in some regular occupation, but not insured under the Unemployment insurance Acts, and the wives and dependent children of those persons, who were in receipt of outdoor Poor Law relief in England and Wales was 43,414 in 1924 and 38,710 in 1925. No information is available as to how many of these persons were registered at Unemployment Exchanges.
